As someone currently trying to switch jobs, I will say LinkedIn is head and shoulders above its competitors that I know about. I switched to "Open to work" and get 2 dozen recruiters a day reaching out, and around 5% are recruiting for positions that pay competitively for me (5 YOE, targeting high 200s, which is L4 Google comp in my area).
By contrast, I've had less than 5 companies reach out from Hired and Triplebyte (and none that were offering competitive pay), even though I got top 10% scores on the platform's stupid quizzes. If there's a new platform I should be using instead, please let me know, because having to respond pleasantly to 19/20 recruiters who are wasting my time is a bit draining.
Unfortunately, I didn't major in CS and have only worked at two companies, neither of which normally pay well, so my network is pretty limited.
